Don’t cancel me. Cryptocurrencies. Banks suck and now I understand the appeal in getting the hell away from them.
While I agree with that, I dislike how environmentally unfriendly most are - especially Bitcoin.
Take your pick of the environmentally friendly coins
Use a credit union.
Is not a cure-all by any means, they have their own problems
Did you know that a bank is specifically forbidden from taking money from a checking or savings accounts to satisfy a payment owed without your express authorization if you also have a loan/credit card through the same bank?
Did you also know that CUs are exempted from that consumer protection regulation? That’s right and many of them exercise their ability, I learned this the hard way, when MF’in NFCU ripped a 300$ payment out of my account that was 2 or 3 weeks late on an unsecured loan (it wasnt even a couple months) and screwed over my ability to make my rent that month.
They also have the DUMBEST online account security practices. “We can’t have you set your own username for “security” so you’ll have to wait for us to mail you a letter with a user ID on it, oh and to log in for the first time you’ll have to wait another week for us to also mail you a new account pin”
CUs might be a tad better than banks, but they are NO savior.

Matt Smith as the Doctor
The best doctor is always the last doctor.
Jelly baby … ?
Pertwee was my first doctor. I’ve always grown to like them all.
Weird, because Tennant wasn’t the last doctor …
But he is the most recent one that isn’t current, which seems to track for a lot of the fan base.

You’re ignoring the 3 episodes where Tennant came back as the Doctor, between Whittaker and Gatwa. Not as a throwback or anything, but as a proper regeneration.
And the metacrisis, oh wait, oh I see. You’re right. I shall hang my head in shame.
Cooked mushrooms. As a kid, I viscerally hated the smell of mushrooms, to the point it would make me gag whenever we had them for supper. The aversion gradually lessened over time. Then when I moved out and started cooking on my own, I suddenly found them delicious! To the point that I now like to add them to almost any savory meal.
Brussels Sprouts.
When I was a kid my mother used to boil them. I would gag from the taste. Mushy vomit-balls of awful.
A few years ago I watched a Jamie Oliver video on how to cook them properly and now they’re a staple with roasts and meat + 3 veg at our place. My wife, my oldest son and I fight over who gets the most.

was it this one?
My nan used to boil them and I loathed the smell and taste.
I had them for the first time last year since I was a kid and they were okay. I think they were sautéd in butter and some other stuff. Not as bad, but I still really dislike the smell and I could easily never eat them again xD
This might not be on account of your mother’s cooking, Jamie Oliver, or your evolving taste buds. Rather, Dutch scientists managed to breed tasty brussels sprouts back in the 90s, and the tasty version has since become the standard.
That’s why everybody hated brussels sprouts in the 80s, and everybody loves them today. They’re just not the same vegetable.
I keep hearing I should try eating them. With this info, I guess I might as well
I’d recommend halving and roasting them, drizzled in a mix of olive oil, good quality vinegar, salt, pepper, and a tiny dash of honey. Just make sure to pre-heat the oven, and use a high temperature (220°C should be good).
Alternatively: dice bacon, render fat, reserve the meaty bits, use the fat to brown the seasoned halved sprouts on high fire. Then put the meaty bacon bits again with them. Then add grated Parmesan.
Bacon fat is cheating! Lol
All is fair in love and war, and a kitchen is a bit of both anyway! :P
I’ve heard this, but I’d like to know what I’ve been eating over time. I never hated sprouts - I had them boiled (briefly!) as a kid in the 90s, when I guess this variety hadn’t yet proliferated? I like sprouts more now but have always attributed this to cooking them differently - fried or roasted, but occasionally simmered in a curry.
I’m dutch and grew up in the 2000’s, I still remember boiled brussel sprouts tasting super bitter and awful. Haven’t really tried them since I cook my own meals though.
They also get more bitter the longer they’re cooked. Even with the new variety, I suspect boiling Brussels sprouts might be off the table. Higher temps, or raw (shredded and put in a salad) may get you results you actually like.
Roasting at 230C (450F) for up to about 20 minutes should be good. You may be able to go as high as 260C (500F). If they look slightly burnt when they come out, that’s good. The bitter flavors that develop from burning are related to sugars, so brussel sprouts are largely immune.
I didn’t have brussel sprouts I liked until the 2010s, but now they’re one of my favorites.
I still hate 'em, lol.
Having eaten them both back then and now, and had them both properly cooked and poorly cooked, this makes the most sense. I just eventually forgot that they used to taste less pleasant than they do now.
Joe Biden
For me, it was Trump.
I used to hate him, but after he lost the presidency, I realised how empty my life was without him.
From 2016 to 2020, every morning I would wake up with a smile on my face while I read the latest, dumbest shit I’ve ever heard. Each day was progressively more unhinged than the day before.
He was the perfect receptacle of my endless rage. Sure, he was the source of the rage in the first place, but the combination of infuriation and bewilderment was cathartic.
Mushrooms (as food), tea, classical music, colder weather, and it follows- long sleeved shirts, the feeling of flossed teeth, reading books, co-existing with spiders
My Chemical Romance. I had barely heard any of their music when I was younger but hated what I heard. Now I own the black parade on vinyl. They’re not my favorite band or anything, but they’re actually pretty fun, as it turns out.
They definitely grew on me as I stopped being a pretentious loser that hated things just because they were popular
Drinking water instead of flavored drinks.
Rain, when I was younger I used to dislike it. Rainy days are now my fave type of day!
Spinach.
From my childhood, I remember vile black slimy stuff from a can, cooked into something that reminded me of LaBrea tar pits.
As an adult, I find fresh spinach tasty. I even like cooked spinach, where you take the pan off the burner and fold it into hot food until it wilts a little. It turns out to all be in how it’s preserved and prepared.
Put them on a tray, spray with olive oil, sprinkle some salt, bake in oven. Spinach chips! Mmmmm
Naps.
